Today I saw the most exquisite part of Northbridge. My new friend, Angie from Nosh, picked me up and took me to her house, which is actually quite close to where I live now. OMG the view from her back terrace is amazing! It overlooks this gorgeous inlet where there is a roped off swimming area and yachts moored everywhere. Her house itself is beautiful too. I was oohing and aahing at everything. We packed a lunch, walked down to the docks with her dogs and then took a bushwalk to this little picnic spot. It occurred to me that the neighborhood really reminds me of the North Shore of Long Island, which is funny because we are essentially on the North Shore of Sydney. The homes are amazing, there is lots of greenery and water everywhere. I told Angie how I'm always comparing places I see in foreign countries with places at home, which to me is a normal human practice. I mean, when you're away from home and want to connect with a place, you will automatically find characteristics that remind you of what you're familiar with. Right? OK, enough with the analysis. Let's just say it was a great day. Not to mention she hooked me up with a babysitting gig...a family who is friends with her neighbor. While we're on the subject of real estate, I just have to try and describe the house her neighbor lives in. We passed by and she and some women were lunching on the terrace. The house was almost all windows and it was set atop this great knoll so that you look up and see it looming over you. Man alive it was something else!
